Calorie Burn: West Coast Swing workshop & dance

I belong to a West Coast Swing community in southwestern Ontario and attended a workshop and dance this afternoon which ran from about 2:10pm-6:10pm. I participated in the Intermediate lesson and sat out for the Beginner lesson that followed.

There was open dancing between 4:00-5:00 and then a little bit more dancing between 5:20 and 6:00. I chose not to dance as often since the majority of the music was Country/Western which makes me cringe.

Calories burned for this event = 554

In case you want to see what West Coast Swing looks like, and I highly recommend learning, check out Lucky Sipin and Shelly Saxena from Swing Niagara's Pro-Am Spotlight this past September 2012 (they're Torontonians):
